Past #22: Todd Goldstein - has advised NMFC he will seek opportunity at Essendon in '24 - 316 NM games/156 goals/'15 SBM/'15 AA/most hitouts in lge history

[North Viking]

I’ll put this out there....


If Goldy returns to 90-95% of his AA form in 2015 we will push top 4 this year!!

Big ask, but I truly believe he’s been way better this year than last year. I am seeing more signs. I think he’s working into the season.

What impressed me on the weekend with Goldy was the way he responded in the second half. That 3rd quarter was the best quarter I’ve seen him play in over 2 years.
Goldy of last year would not of been able to lift.

Will the sleeper awaken.....

Happy to be wrong.

" by spelling him we feel he'll come over the top of the majority of his opponents", he was bloody fantastic in the second half".

Nice! I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that reference.

Unfortunately that movie did not do the book any justice. Perhaps it’s one of those books that should never be made into a movie............

The Dune saga imo is still the best as Sci-fi series ever written.

I was a pretty big Dune fan a few years ago, an impossible movie to make really considering how DENSE the book is.

Endlessly quotable though, that and I'm a big David Lynch fan even though its nowhere near his best movie.

You may well be right Ozzy. However, there is absolutely no physical reason why he shouldn't. Right now, he should be at his peak. We know his peak is better than we're seeing. However, his performances have been on the up curve this year, in general. Game 200 - what better stage...

Thanks Only Forwards.
That made me slightly aroused. I’ve read everything and anything associated with the dune universe.

Looks like SuperGav was giving the Oxy's a nudge.

Might have been mentioned previously but hope Goldy has got rid of his snoring - as revealed in the Roo Mates podcast. One of the last things you'd want is your body and brain waking up oxygen deprived playing elite sport. The game is hard enough as it is without waking up lethargic and then having slower recovery times.

Even those Herbert / Anderson monstrosities? I got half a chapter into one of them: awful, legacy burning tripe. Getting Dune right in a movie / series is almost the holy grail of sci-fi cinema though. Fingers crossed for the new ones...

From a visual standpoint Villeneuve is an excellent choice. Fingers crossed indeed!

It's funny, but as time passes, David Lynch's Dune becomes more and more watchable for me. Not because it's great, but just because it's Lynch, and Kyle McLaughlin, and in the post Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Lynch-McLaughlin Universe (a strange place indeed!) it somehow has become like a funny old friend that you secretly like watching. Except for Sting being in it though. Can never fix that.

right, off to iron the stillsuit...

The comfiest and most consistent era in Lynch's career, everything was just perfect.

I'm so glad we got Twin Peaks Season 3. I loved it.

^ The 2016 Brownlow votes explode the myth perpetuated in these parts that he has been s**t since 2015. He was dominating until he got injured.

Up until mid 2016, he was terrific. His decline in form since then has been astounding. He was good against GWS though.
No Brownlow votes since mid 2016 for our #1 ruckman - that's a concern.
